 In some ways ''Space Cadet'' is par for the [[Game-Maker]] space shooter course. It's a bit of a patchwork, that more or less colors inside the lines set by RSD's engine. The game design involves roaming around an inscrutable maze in a sort of a cross between a lunar lander and a Space Invader. For the visuals [[Matthew Groves]] employed his best MS Paint skills; for the music he raided Sierra’s ''Space Quest''. The space bar fires lasers at monsters yanked from, I believe, ''[[Penguin Pete]]''.

 And yet, the game has charm. And it plays well. The laser in particular has a satisfying crunch. Part of that comes from the sound, part from the visuals, and part from the timing of the animation. Movement is precise. Groves seems to have paid actual attention to the difficulty balance (unusually for a Game-Maker game). Stereo visualizer bars serve as spikes. What seem to be old 1950s B-movie posters animate in the background. There’s little sense of nonsense about this game, and yet a huge sense of playfulness.
